I’m a licensed therapist in Maryland with over 18 years of clinical experience. My goal is to assist you in becoming the best version of yourself, focusing on progress, not perfection.
My communication style is an eclectic mix of humor, sarcasm, wit, and when appropriate and welcomed, may also include cursing.
I believe therapy, and all aspects of healthcare, should be grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Lastly, you may occasionally meet a few uninvited coworkers of the Feline Variety. While they mean well, they have been known to photobomb sessions, create chaos, and provide a variety of background noises :)
My areas of clinical expertise, with both teens and adults, include:
• Stress & anxiety
• Depression
• Relationship Issues and Family Conflicts
• Parenting challenges
• Career burnout and/or transitions
• Motivation, self-esteem, and confidence
• Intimacy issues and concerns
• Coping with life changes
• Compassion fatigue
• Concentration and memory struggles (including ADD/ADHD)
• Addiction and recovery
Whatever you’re facing, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
